KANSAS - TOBACCO, 1938. A Glimpse into the Lives of Working Class Americans
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph takes us back to the year 1938 in Coffey County, Kansas. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a man lighting a cigarette amidst the vast tobacco fields that stretch as far as the eye can see. Photographed by John Vachon under the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image offers a glimpse into the lives of hardworking individuals during an era defined by economic hardship - The Great Depression. This unidentified migrant worker represents countless others who found solace and respite from their laborious tasks through smoking. The composition beautifully captures both the solitude and resilience of this individual against nature's backdrop. As he ignites his cigarette, one can almost feel his weariness melt away momentarily, even if just for a brief moment. This photograph serves as a reminder of America's agricultural past and its reliance on manual laborers to cultivate crops such as tobacco. It also highlights how smoking was not only prevalent but often seen as an escape or coping mechanism for those facing challenging circumstances. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this print allows us to reflect upon our nation's history while honoring those who worked tirelessly to build it.
